Definitions

  • This invention concerns a method of increasing the efficiency and output of a gas-turbine which has turbine blades with internal passages for cooling the blades by supplying the internal passages with a cooling fluid and which has a combustion chamber for combustion of fuel with the combustion gases driving the turbine blades.
  • a gas-turbine of this type is disclosed in U.S. specification No. 2,647,368.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a gas- turbine engine which is capable of operating at high pressures and temperatures utilising the total expansion of the generated gases without the size, weight and complexity customarily associated with such engines, and without the need to use exotic materials, such as ceramics.
  • the present invention provides a method of increasing the efficiency and output of a gas- turbine of the type mentioned in the first paragraph hereto, said method being characterised by arranging the combustion chamber annularly around the turbine blades, cooling the gas-turbine blades with a mixture of air and liquid-fuel introduced internally into the blades, wherein the liquid-fuel vaporizes to form an air-fuel mixture, expelling the air-fuel vapour mixture directly from the blades into the annular combustion chamber for turbulent mixing and combustion, combusting the air-fuel vapour mixture in the combustion chamber and directing the gases of combustion at the same turbine blades to drive the gas-turbine.
  • This invention puts an end to the above difficulties because it assures the cooling of the blades of the gas-turbines and of all the hot surfaces by fluids and air in an open recuperative circuit, allowing the increased cooling at a thermodynamic (stoichiometric) maximum of the temperature of the burnt-gases, which pass through the turbine.
  • the cooling fluids together with the air form rich mixtures with great convective capacity in the cooling system.
  • the cooling fluids may be constituted of petroleum-fuels or of liquified gases, such as liquid hydrogen or liquid methane, or of methanol.
  • liquified gases such as liquid hydrogen or liquid methane, or of methanol.
  • the turbine blades extend radially from a disk and some quantity of the cooling fluid (liquid fuel) is bi-laterally injected onto the turbine disk, where a film coating is produced which is centrifuged toward the turbine-blades gases.
  • the interior and exterior of the blades are cooled by introduction of the cooling fuel from the film coating together with air into the internal channels in the blades where the cooling fuel vaporizes, thus providing convective evaporative cooling.
  • the resultant air-fuel vapour mixture is then centrifugally and tangentially expelled into the combustion chamber.
  • cooling fluid liquid fuel
  • the cooling fluid liquid fuel
  • the combustion chamber located at the periphery of the turbine and around it, creates a turbo-recuperative space, where the rich mixture made up of the combustible cooling fluids emulsified with air is expelled with the peripheral speed of the turbine-rotor such as 400m/sec. This assures a high level of peripheral turbulence and results in a final stoichiometric mixture of maximal quality.
  • the combustion chamber of the gas-turbine is supplied with fuel from a direct source by individual injectors and also with the emulsion of air and fuel which cooled the turbine.
  • the recirculation of the cooling air to the combustion chamber has a recuperative effect and the utilization of the same air for combustion eliminates the previous quantitative restriction on cooling-air.
  • the turbo-engine shown in the drawing is made up of a gas-turbine including an interior compressor-rotor 1, with axial blades, associated with an interior radial compressor-rotor 2, having interposed an exterior compressor-rotor 3, with axial blades, and an exterior radial compressor-rotor 4.
  • An air-duct 5 leads the compressed-air to an air-housing 6, which contains an annular peripheral combustion-chamber 7 provided with exterior meridian air-ports 8 and with interior meridian air-ports 9.
  • a turbine-rotor 10 is provided with blades with conventional air-cooling ducts. The blades are mounted on a turbine-disk 11 and are cooled by liquid-injectors 12.
  • a second stage gas-turbine rotor 14 actuates the interior axial and radial compressors 1, 2, while the turbine 10 actuates the exterior axial and radial compressors 3, 4.
  • a further turbine 15 is the final stage of using the energy.
  • the combustion chamber 7 is provided with primary fuel injectors 16.
  • the entire rotary- assembly is supported via bearings 17,18,19, 20, 21, 22.
  • Stator blades 23 and 24 of final turbines 14 and 15 are adjustable for optimizing the speed- regime.
  • the walls 25 and 26 of the combustion-chamber 7 are manufactured with perforations 100, which allow inlet of air over the whole metal surface of the combustion-chamber 7, and include supplementary air inlets 27, disposed for assuring high quality combustion.
  • the operation of the gas-turbine, according to the invention and to the drawing is assured by counter-rotary driving of the interior compressor 1, with axial blades, and of the interior compressor with radial blades 2 and by driving of the exterior axial compressor 3 and of the exterior radial compressor 4, which pumps the air up through the duct 5 into the air-housing 6, which contains the annular chamber 7.
  • Combustion is assured by injecting primary fuel through the injectors 16 and this allows the start of the gas- turbine and its working at reduced power. At high power, cooling of the blades becomes necessary when the burnt gases surpass 1000-1200°C.
  • the injectors 12 then inject cooling liquid-fuel which settles on the turbine-disk 11 in film form, radially penetrates into the interior channels of the blades of the rotor 10 and together with the cooling-air forms an emulsion having a high capacity for absorption of heat from the blade walls.
  • the fuel vapour from the cooling-liquid and the air that passes through the interior channels of the blades of the turbines 10, are expelled radially and tangentially into the annular, peripheral combustion-chamber 7, where, by final mixing, they completely burn at a level of stoichiometric limit.
  • the whole flow passage of the burnt gases is manufactured of perforated sheet with micro- orifices on the whole surface. This allows air perspiration, which eliminates material contact between the metal-walls and the burnt-gases.
